(1) William are a band from Lewisham, London, UK. The lives of three skater souls became entwined following a chance meeting beside the famous tea clipper-the Cutty Sark sometime in 2004. As the original drummer made a swift exit North, Gavin Housley and Mark Thomas were to be joined by kindred spirit Dan Sheridan and the true incarnation of William was born: Three boys and the truth. Guitars and drums with musical hearts. No over-the-top theatrics, expensive hairdressers or hip hip outfits. Just the usual lads in the bedroom making songs about frustration and relationships and more frustration and more sweat on the guitars and different instruments sometimes. So far William have released two singles - 'Five Minute Wonder' and 'Playground', a debut album - 'Self in Fiction' (2008) and more recently a mini-album - 'Slightly Delighted' (2009) all of which can be found on the Tough Love Records label. More information can be found at the bands official Myspace.
(2) WILLIAM is the solo project of North Carolina based musician/artist Will Goodyear. The project has been through many different stages of development including a full band version under a different name (Lobbyist - Will Goodyear, Josh Germeroth, Jared Harber, Matt Damron, Ben Hunsinger) but is now back to the original solo format. WILLIAM's first release (Tints and Shades - Impression Music/Lifeforce Records) was Will's first attempt at branching from his roots in heavy music (Between the Buried and Me, Hopesfall, Prayer for Cleansing) and follows a more traditional pop rock format. The new record (Surface the Vessel - Textbook Music. scheduled for release summer 2006) offers listeners a much matured approach to song writing and a more thought out, personal sound. Will will be performing the new material with a new band beginning this spring.

William Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's more than frost
More than a frozen wind
She doesn't feel
She's a machine
She caused too much harm
A pain you won't forget
Remembrances won't lead you to a better place
Too late to escape, too late to leave her place
To leave her side
She's running out of friends
She doesn't care if she gets what she wants
She takes everything she needs from everyone
No face and no shame and no fear
Just damage done
Perfection dwells in imperfection
Try to make her understand
Perfection dwells in imperfection
You should try with someone else
Yeti stop blowing that frozen wind
The lyrics to William's song "Yeti" depict a person, referred to as "she," who is described as cold, emotionless, and harmful. The use of winter imagery, such as being "as cold as ice" and "more than frost," reinforces the idea of her being unfeeling and detached. She is compared to a machine, emphasizing her lack of empathy and the harm she inflicts on others.
The lyrics suggest that this person has caused significant pain and damage that cannot be forgotten. Despite this, there is a realization that it is too late to escape or leave her side. She is portrayed as someone who manipulates and takes advantage of people without any concern for the consequences. She is running out of friends because of her actions, but she remains indifferent to this, as long as she gets what she wants.
The last two lines, "Perfection dwells in imperfection, Try to make her understand, Perfection dwells in imperfection, You should try with someone else," can be interpreted as a plea to make her realize that no one is perfect and that she should seek a connection with someone else rather than causing harm.
Overall, the lyrics of "Yeti" reflect on the destructive nature of a person who is emotionally detached, selfish, and uncaring. It conveys a sense of frustration and resignation towards this person's behavior, while also suggesting the possibility of finding a healthier and more fulfilling connection elsewhere.
